IND Playing 11 for India vs Australia 1st Test; Top Picks, Fantasy Cricket Tips For IND vs AUS Dream11 Team Prediction

IND vs AUS: With the WTC final at stake, India host Australia in a crucial four match test series. Australia already have a foot in the final while India are the second favorites. The Aussies last won a test series on Indian soil back in 2004, and they will be looking for a improved showing. Team India can certainly expect a stiff challenge this time around. Here is how Rohit Sharma and co. might lineup in the first test at Nagpur:

India playing XI

• Much will depend on skipper Rohit Sharma’ form who will open with KL Rahul.
• The rock solid Pujara and Virat Kohli will follow at 3 and 4. Shubman Gill is expected to come in for Shreyas Iyer who is injured. It is unlikely that the team management will experiment with Suryakumar Yadav.
• KS Bharat will keep the wickets ahead of Ishan Kishan. Three spinners should be the way to go and we expect left arm-spinners Axar Patel and fit-again Ravindra Jadeja to accompany Ravichandran Ashwin.
• With Jasprit Bumrah still ruled out, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj will lead the pace attack.

India vs Australia Dream11 Prediction

Here are the best fantasy cricket picks for the match from IND:

Ravichandran Ashwin must be the first name on your team. He is a different beast on home soil with the ball and a key batter down the order too.

Ravindra Jadeja can be another valuable asset to your team. His batting has grown leaps and bounds over the last 3-4 years and he is certain to be among the wickets.

We are tipping skipper Rohit Sharma to come good in this encounter and lead from the front. His counter attacking approach against spin can yield good returns.
